NCSA has recently deployed a powerful system for deep learning as part of a Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) grant from the National Science Foundation. The system consists of 16 IBM POWER9 servers with four NVIDIA GPUs per server running the IBM PowerAI software stack. We are happy to announce its availability to all at Illinois. Please direct your research teams to this wiki page with instructions on how to apply for an account and use the system.
We are planning a training workshop May 29-30 with presentations and hands-on labs conducted by IBM on May 29 and a bring-your-own-code session on May 30. Please register for the workshop by Wednesday, May 22, 2019. Registration is on a first-come first served basis, as it is limited to the first 45 registrants per session. Workshop schedule can be found here.
